'Reality is like water forming and distorting around us.'

​

Two bodies lay in water, literally with their heads connected together. As if they have one backbone. Yet the bodies move separately from each other. They can't see each other, but they can feel each other. Looking at the sky above. If one of them goes in a different direction, the other is always pulled along. Every movement is a compromise between the two of them. A reflection of the relationship they have with each other. In every moment there is a new choice as to how they can continue together.
